But this TV news isn’t a bolt from the blue for the infamously independent MP, nicknamed “Mad Nad”.

Just look back to her greatest hits…

Cameron and Osborne? Two arrogant posh boys!

Earlier this year, the maverick MP branded prime minister David Cameron and chancellor George Osborne as “two arrogant posh boys” with “no passion to understand the lives of others”.

This comes after describing them to the Financial Times as “two public school boys who don’t know what it’s like to go to the supermarket and have to put things back on the shelves because they can’t afford it for their children’s lunch boxes”.

Collegiate stuff.

Osborne? He’s a pernicious influence!

Osborne isn’t Dorries’ man of the year it’d appear, after she told the Huffington Post UK that he should be sacked and was a “pernicious influence” on Cameron and the Tories.

Dorries treads the Terrace for Tatler

Dorries ruffled a few feathers in Parliament’s old guard as she took part in a photoshoot for Tatler magazine…on Parliament’s MPs-only terrace.

Dorries’ bountiful bra

Dorries has previously been on reality TV before, in the form of Channel 4’s Tower Block of Commons, a show that challenged MPs to experience life living on benefits.

Hours after turning up at her flat, Dorries pulled out a cheeky £50 from her top (she protested it was to “get gifts for the family”).

A whole new twist on “benefits cheat”?

Dorries is “frustrated”, says PM

Cameron thinks Dorries is “extremely frustrated”? Meow.

Dorries vs. Mensch

Where did it all go wrong between Nadine Dorries and ex-Corby MP Louise Mensch?

After Mensch announced she was resigning as MP to spend more time with her family, Dorries took a swipe at her for being “void of principle”.

Mensch has returned fire this morning, attacking Dorries’ upcoming TV appearance on Twitter with “Ugh #nothanks. Nothing sadder than a politician, or ex-politician, on any of those shows”.
